-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be mindful of our attitude 
and behaviour towards others,
and try to be expressive 
of our gratitude towards them, too.
It's the accumulation of those small acts of sincerity
that result in the blossoming of great blooms of trust.
Let's all become the Ambassadors of Soka!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 832)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As leaders of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we have stepped forth into this saha world together with our countless fellow members as well as family, friends, and others with whom we share a profound connection. Through powerful prayer and confident dialogue, we cannot fail to call forth even more of those who are linked to us by deep karmic bonds. 'Developing youth' is nothing other than revitalising and developing our own youthful life state and limitlessly expanding the number of fellow Bodhisattvas of the Earth into the future.

"Let us proudly show the world the victories of our human revolution, the brilliant unity of our network of capable individuals, and the nobility of our lives as Bodhisattvas of the Earth dedicated to kosen-rufu. Let us continue to spread hope-filled dialogues and advance in harmony and high spirits to pave the way to realising a great transformation in the life state of all humankind."

SGI Newsletter No. 9484, 21st Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting SGI General Meeting, Paving the Way to a Great Transformation in the Life State of All Humankind, from 6th Nov., 2016, issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translation released 8th Nov., 2016
